Anyway, a reminder. Fuel Tax Credits over the next 4 years will cost the Govt $47bn. The savings from the cuts to the NDIS is $38bn. Gillard in 2010: "Budgets are about choices, and you show what you value through the choices you make" Indeed.

My biggest disappointment with the Albanese Labor Govt is the revelation how cheap it is to buy our Australian Govt. And how Albanese will ignore the clear will of the Australian people on so many policy issues to ensure the political donations keep pouring in to the duopoly. 😔 #auspol
